Cloth or Disposable...that is the question!
Zach came to me the other day and had this conversation with me:
"Oh babe, I forgot to tell you. I saw this woman on Sharktank who has this cloth diaper company, and they were awesome. We should use them!"
Aimee in complete shock, jaw dropped open "huh?!?"
"They're called FuzziBunz, here I have it on my phone, look!"
Zach shows Aimee the website and pictures enthusiastically.
I could hardly contain my excitement! MY husband was showing ME the cloth diapers that HE is into and wants to use for our babies? Is this the rapture, is Jesus coming back right now?
Women chat about baby things long before there is even a baby inside of us. So of course I had chatted about cloth diapers with my friends, researched them, tried to learn the lingo and all the different kinds...and had myself totally convinced that it was the way to go before we even thought about trying to get pregnant. I mean, seriously, cloth diapers save TONS of money and are so stinkin cute.
Zach on the other hand, like I'd expect from any guy, was not into it. Poop going into my washer? um, NO. There were many other funny comments but I tried to block them out. Sorry babe.
But now, oh man....now we are talkin! Now Zach is on board and now we are FOR SURE gunna try cloth diapers for baby Charnock! He's comin' to me everyday with a new thing he found about the diapers! This is crazy :)
And to make sure Zach was totally convinced, I put the pricing on paper....just to drive the money saving point home a little more. You can also look at Fuzzibunz price anaylsis here.
